Default New distributor, won't run

hey there everyone, I have a first gen JDM B16A in my 90 Ef hatch. I have never had a problem until recently my distributor had seized. I replaced the distributor and when I turn it over it will fire up but RPM will instantly drop to zero in .5 seconds before I even let go of the key and car shuts off. Any help is appreciated

Are the wires in the correct order?
How's your timing also?

You say you have good spark, how did you confirm this and is that on all 4 cylinders? 94
